The beauty of making a baked ham for Easter (or any holiday or large gathering) is that there’s bound to be leftovers.
Leftover ham, which will last for up to five days in the fridge, can be a springboard for other meals during the week. Of course you’ll want a sandwich or two, but there are many other ways to put that porky, smoky flavor to good use.
Freezing it
First off, you can always freeze leftover ham if you can’t use it all within several days. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or some type of reusable wrap that really clings to it. Place the wrapped ham in a freezer-proof bag. Press out any excess air from the bag, seal and freeze for up to 6 months.
You can also slice or dice your ham before freezing. Diced or sliced ham will also need to be well wrapped before freezing, and is best when used within 4 months. Don’t forget to label your ham with the date.
